1. Pronoun with no specific antecedent: indefinite pronoun

An indefinite pronoun is a pronoun that does not refer to any person, animal, or thing in particular, in other words, that does not have an specific antecedent, such as anything, something, anyone and everyone.

2. Determined by function: case

Cases refer to the grammatical functions of nouns and pronouns within a sentence, so the types of cases are determined by the function the noun or pronoun has in the sentence. In English, there are four main grammatical cases: the Nominative Case, the Possessive Case, the Objective Case, and the Vocative Case.

3. Consistency between subject and verb or pronoun and antecedent: agreement

Sentences in which their subject matches their verb in person, number and tense are in agreement. The same goes for sentences that have pronouns and antecedents.

4. Subject case: nominative

A nominative or subject case is when a noun or a pronoun works as a subject in the sentence. Some examples: <u><em>Rumi</em></u><em> is here</em> (<em>Rumi</em> is in the nominative case) and <u><em>He</em></u><em> is sleeping</em> (<em>He</em> is in the nominative case)

5. Clarifies or renames preceding noun: appositive

An appositive phrase is a noun or a noun phrase that "renames", identifies or gives further information of a preceding noun. For example, <em>Rumi, </em><em><u>my youngest cat</u></em><em>, is here. </em>(The phrase underlined is appositive because it renames the noun "Rumi").

6. Clause with implied subject or verb: elliptical clause

An elliptical clause is a dependent clause that is missing a subject or a verb on purpose because the context in which that clause is being said is enough to easily understand what the implied subject or verb is. Here's an example: <em>Tigor is sleeping over the chair, and </em><u><em>Mishua on the couch</em></u> (Notice how the second clause does not have a verb because we already know that the verb is: "Mishua is sleeping on the couch").

7. Adjective phrase without word to modify: dangling construction

A dangling construction refers to a sentence or phrase that has a modifier (like an adjective, an adverb, or an adjective phrase) but that does not have the object it modifies, or at least, it is not clearly stated, therefore the sentence or the idea is confusing.

8. Points out which one: demonstrative pronoun

Demonstrative point or indicate specific things, elements, people or animals that are near or far in distance or time. They can be singular or plural, and there are four: <em>this, that, these, </em>and <em>those.</em>

9. Two-word pronoun: reciprocal pronoun

Reciprocal pronouns are pronouns that indicate that an action is performed or received by two or more people at the same time. There are only two reciprocal pronouns and they both are two-word pronoun: <em>each other </em>and<em> one another</em>
